Factors to Consider in the Design of a School Fence
In Victoria, schools are generally encouraged to maintain a welcoming environment for the community. This includes having fences at a height that allows visibility and encourages openness. However, there are certain circumstances where a taller security fence may be requred. These include:
Proximity to High Traffic Areas or Dangerous Roads
Schools, especially in metropolitan Melbourne, located near busy streets, high usually require taller fences to protect students from the risks posed by traffic or other hazards.
High Crime or Vandalism Rates
If a school is situated in an area with a high incidence of theft, vandalism, or other criminal activities, a taller fence might be necessary to secure the premises and deter intruders. In fact, it is well documented that having a security fence around the perimeter of a school can significantly reduce cases of vandalism.
Prevention by having a good quality security fence is certainly a good solution. This is because less money needs to be spent on repairing damage caused by vandalism. In particular, the easier the school grounds can be accessed, the greater chance the school will be vandalised. This means money spent on a security fence for a school is well worth it!
Protecting Vulnerable Students
Schools that cater to special needs students may require taller fencing to ensure an appropriately safe environment
